The first time I ate here, I had an amazing experience. The owner was very friendly and I love my burger(ugly burger) The second time I went back expecting the same experience so I brought my family, so they could experience it too! The lady who rang us up was friendly to everyone but my step dad( who is black) I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I felt like she was extremely racist, and I wasn't the only one who thought so either. I'm very sad to have to write this review but I will never be going back because of how uncomfortable my family felt being there :( read more

I believe that the people who rated this place are smoking tons of weed. The two of us had a single burger, double burger, fries, mushrooms and onion rings with a bill of $40. The burgers were way overcooked and tasted like old reheated meat. I would have to say it was the worst burger I have ever eaten in my 60 years of living. The fries, shrooms and onion rings were soggy and disgusting, fried in dirty old oil. The condiment station was out in the open and looked like a petri dish growing bacteria from science class in 1970. I should have left when I read that the burger is named " the ugly burger" it not only describes the looks of it, but the taste as well. Take my advice and skip this place your bowels will thank me. read more

You can't go wrong at Giff's! Burgers are awesome and the Finxins are fresh and amazing. Stop in and support this local business. Let's go Brandon! read more

Hard to get in this great hamburger joint. Hours don't jive well with a working schedule or if your driving to redding from Weaverville. But if you happen to make it during their open hours, you will be amazed. Hand pressed fresh meat, great condiment bar with all the fixings. read more

Play said that my football team sucks and they didn't give us no service they're sitting there talking crap about us so I could've flipped him off but I didn't. read more

Great char broiled food and a bit of spunk form the owner. Enjoyable place to visit.

Stopped at this spot with my coworker and let me tell you these steak burgers are good! You can tell they are fresh and the fries were crispy and delicious! Loved the concept as well. Owner is awesome you can tell why it's been around for 43 years! read more

Burger is ordinary and unimaginative. Meat was bland and dry. I don't get the deal with it. read more

Giff's Steakburger - Ugly Burger - American Near Me - Redding, California

We were excited to eat at Giff's ugly burger until my daughter showed up crying and mortified with her experience. We both went in and ordered, I payed. She stayed behind as I had a hair appointment. She showed up at the salon in tears after how she was treated. My daughter wears a mask, she is currently staying with her grandma (so she can physically go to a school that is open) who has stage four cancer. Literally 1/2 of each of her lungs left. My daughter where's a mask to protect the grandmother she loves and adores. These men, who were friends with the owner, decided to bully and bash her like cowards, behind her back, for wearing a mask. Your not even man enough to ask her why she wears it??? You just assume?? Calling her a dumb liberal????? That's masks do no good??!? For wearing a mask to reduce the cross contamination so she doesn't kill her grand mother?!?! Men who are old enough to be her grandfathers?!? I hope you feel like real men. I grew up in Redding and loved this place. So very disappointed, how dare you men bully a young lady. We will never eat her again read more

Kind a locals place. Nice owner and staff seems friendly but there are some problems here. While the food is decent (I had an ugly burger special) its a tad pricy for the quality. The meat is pretty good, nothing to complain of but the cheese was cheap processed and a tiny piece at that. And the bun is very boring. Condiment bar was OK, seemed fresh and good choices of toppings. Its OK but I'd rather go to Bartel's giant burger for what you pay. read more

Giff's Steakburger - American Near Me - Redding, California

Giff's is Giff's. I could not give them any less than 5 stars, as they are one of a kind. I love the charcoal grill, Giff giving you a piece of his mind, the fries, the onion rings, the obsessive dedication to all things Chevy and NASCAR. I recommend Giff's to anybody and everyone. It is an experience, and the food is good too. They have one of the better condiment bars I've seen. read more

Charbroiled burgers, condiment bar, and the best fries in town. What else do you want from a burger joint?

Great burger in a fun atmosphere. The condiment bar really adds a lot to the experience. The only negative thing I would say after my first visit, is that it can be a little confusing with all the signage in the restaurant if you missed the sign that says order here! You have to go around the corner to where you order. read more

Sooo good. Loved it all. Fris were awesome. Make your own with a Fixing bar. I will be going there again. Little hole in the wall Owner has a awesome sence of humer. read more

They have the best drummies and fries! Me and my grandmother have been coming here for years and hands down I will not go to any other place for my usual order. The owner is nice and the price range is very inexpensive especially for a quick bite. There's no other place in Redding that has amazing food and treats you like family read more

Good old burgers are a dying breed. So is Dick. He is actually already dead I think. As long as he keeps drinking his beer and makes my burgers ugly I will keep coming back. The rest of you can go stand in line at In-N-Out for your standard issue assembly line processed crap served with a fake smile read more

This place flat out ROCKS! The prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is old-school red-blooded American, and the burgers are fantastic! Every time my family and I pass through Redding, we try to stop here. But be warned: if you're an easily-offended, over-sensitive liberal whacko, you won't like the humorous conservative signage hanging around this place. For example, on the main menu hangs a sign that reads, "OBAMA SPECIAL: Order what you want and the person behind you will pay for it." C'mon....lighten up! It's just a joke! Don't miss out on the best hamburger west of the Mississippi simply because you have no sense of humor! Stop by Giff's and order the Ugly Burger today! You owe it to yourself! :) read more

I ate here once before this last time and wanted to give them another chance but I was unwilling to walk another 1/4 mile to an atm. Seriously, it's 2013 get a card reader, they have free ones now a days. The food was only alright, the enviornment feels cluttered and unsanitary. Sorry, good idea but bad follow through. read more

Whoever likes these burgers really doesn't know what good food tastes like. 5 stars my ass! Burgers were so bland. There 2 old drunk men (I think the owner) sitting in the corner. We spent 25$ for 2 burgers and 2 fries and it was repulsive. It's twice as much and half as good as the Habit or in n out or Maxwells or anywhere else... I'd rather go to McDonalds... Save your money. Ps they don take credit card. Oh and I had to give them one star read more

I have never gotten a bad burger at Giffs.. It's always good.. Not sure what these other reviews are talking about.. If you want a fresh burger with open condiment bar to stack your burger full then this is the place for you.. Giffs has been here for years and never disappoints.. Giffs is a local favorite with all of Redding... read more

I just wanna say that the people here have phenominal memories. Came in friday last week, walked up to where you order... I havent been here for a year or more because i moved to sac, and she asked me "Ugly?" response "yup" "with mushrooms?" "yup" "with mtn dew?" yup" Bam. Done. Thats service! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! they have the best burgers in town and i love the atmosphere and attitude of this place. the old guy that works there is the best and the 2-3 girls that work there are so nice and upbeat. i do have to warn you though: this place is addicting!!!! read more

Absolutely love love this place!! Best burgers in redding. Love the fact that they have a huge selection for the condiments to put on your burger. Can't wait to go back!! True gem for redding read more

Out of towners not disappointed. Yummy burger just like a home grill delishousness! Fresh condiments galore. Super good fries that stayed hot throughout meal. Beer better than a Carona! Thanks read more

They had good burgers and geilled chicken sandwichs. I like the do it yourself for the fixxins. Nice atmosphere will be going back.

Lots of toppings but mediocre burgers and not as big as I expected. Amazing fries and "special sauce"...we will go back again

I've been going here since I was a kid. The food is always fresh and I've never had a bad experience. Great fries and a buffet of toppings to fix up your burger anyway you like! Burgers are cooked right in front of you on an old school grill, just like you were home. Highly recommend. read more

Best REAL BEEF burger in town and you cant beat the atmosphere! Dick makes every visit memorable rather you want him to or not lol. Great people and real conversations and the menu is easy and tasty. Only place in town that reminds me of home and I'm always welcomed every time I come in! I'm a double steak burger with cheese and bacon personally but the combinations of different things to eat is awesome! never a dull moment in this place! a must if you live in Redding or just passing through! read more

Really good quality burger and fries from this spot. The owner is super friendly and greeted us at the door when my husband and I walked in (he also greeted the couple groups that walked in after us). Definitely a local one-of-a-kind spot, full of personality inside and clean (and they take credit cards now). The burger meat was super fresh and high quality that you can taste. I would definitely recommend the place for anyone in Redding wanting a good quality burger. I'll be back next time I find myself driving through! read more

This is a no brainer. Giff's Ugly Burger is a homerun when it comes to burgers in Redding. One would argue the best in town. You order it, have it served to you then...you put it together the way you like it. 25 or so toppings that complement the burgers. Giff...well he is one of a king and a Redding icon. His customers will tell you, his personality is as important as the burgers he cooks over a charcoal fire. Fresh and tasty, manga! read more

Damn do I need to write a paper to leave a review on yelp? South Park was right about yelp. But this place is amazing. If you want to experience Redding in its glory and a great burger come here. I take everyone here when they're from out of town. read more

I had to stretch to come up with one star. Food was bland, tasteless, nothing ton write home to mom about. Service was so so. Can't imagine I'll go back, unless under new management! read more

Just went for the first time and it was great! You put on your own toppings which I love so you can put on as much or as little as you want. Will be coming back again! read more

Great place for first rate burgers. Made to order at the grill, Condiment bar complete and wide selection. Staff were friendly and attentive. My 88 yr old father loved the place and down home feel. He's looking forward to his next Ugly burger read more

Dick is a great dude! I love going into Giff's, as he cracks me up every time! This place is an iconic piece of Redding history. I tend to buy the daily special so as not to get too bored of any one item, as I eat there almost once a week. Ugly Burger, Steak Burger, Chili Burger, GOOD hot dogs, larger sized fries... it is all good. Yes, you put all of your own condiments on to your liking... and he has about every condiment you would want on your meal including horseradish. He does not buy processed patties from a vendor, they are all made custom to his specifications from a local meat market. OH, and, THEY NOW TAKE DEBIT AND CREDIT CARDS!!! Holy Cow, Dick has stepped into the 20th century! read more

Good food, we came in at lunchtime and had great service. Hard to believe that it was just a 2 man crew. Thanks for the lunch giffs

I love Giffs. Been coming here since I was a little girl. The Ugly burger is pretty much the only thing I ever get. It's amazing. I like that this place is still a pretty well kept secret in town. Friendly service and good beer. read more

Their Ugly burger is awesome. I've been coming here for decades. The décor is kitsch and the owner is a kick.

Great place to eat! Awesome atmosphere, and wonderful people. The ugly burger is my favorite. It's awesome that you can put your own condiments on your burger, if it's messed up its your own fault. And you can put as lil or as much As you want read more

My first visit to Giff's was in 1989 (I was four years old), and it has yet to get old. The food still tastes the same, the look of the place has barely changed (save for removing the baseball caps that used to cover the walls), and Dick is still the grouchy (in a good way) man behind the grill. I've never actually eaten an Ugly Burger as I can barely walk out of the place after eating a steakburger and fries, but the burgers are fantastic and the fries are among my favorite. It's small inside, but a table can usually be found with relative ease and you're never far from the condiments. read more
